Mega Man 9
Game » consists of 7 releases. Released Sep 22, 2008
Mega Man returns to his roots in this deliberately retro side-scrolling platformer that simulates the style and simplicity of the first six Mega Man games.
In case you haven't seen the best boxart ever: Mega Man 9
So, at first I was kind of mad about the whole "NES graphics" thing. I would have preferred the SNES or PS graphics. But, after this "box art", I am pretty much in love. In a scale of 10 to 10, this game is a 9,000 in awesome.
That's actually pretty sick how they emulated the style of the time so well. Like, that's totally believable. As in, I still am not 100% convinced that was designed in 2008.
"Not me, I still dislike the 8bit graphics.
Advances have been made since those days, why revert back to primitive 8 bit graphics? I'm not saying it should have been 3D, but it still could have looked better in 2D.

Nostalgia factor.
And I think that's friggin awesome, but for some reason I thought MM9 was a Wiiware game?
"That's actually pretty sick how they emulated the style of the time so well. Like, that's totally believable. As in, I still am not 100% convinced that was designed in 2008."LOL like they had a unused NES mega man lying around and they just decided to release it now?
Mega man 9 sounds sweet, I want to eventually play it.
I don't mind the 8-bit visuals, I am an old-shool gamer.
I've heard that it was an idea from one of the translators working at capcom. It's an inside joke about how horrible the US version Mega Man 1 box art was.
The 8-bit Megaman is iconic, good to se him back in action :)
"I think everything about this game is awesome, including that box art. However, why would they do that box art if its gonna be a downloadable game? You sure it's real? I'm thinking it's a fake.Right. There's not going to be a box for a downloadable game. I wouldn't say the cover's fake however. Just being used as an advertising thing.
